स्वार्थक्रियोग्रसामर्थ्याद्याति भावनयान्यताम् ।
पदार्थोऽभिमतांशाढ्यो निःश्वासेनेव दर्पणः ॥ १९ ॥

svārthakriyograsāmarthyādyāti bhāvanayānyatām |
padārtho'bhimatāṃśāḍhyo niḥśvāseneva darpaṇaḥ || 19 ||

An arduous attempt to accomplish the desired object, is often attended by a different result; and even success on one hand, becomes a failure on another; just as the mirror is soiled by the breath, while it shows the face to the looker.
